Which statement correctly describes the actual yield and the theoretical yield of a reaction?

Theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product predicted from the reactant amounts, using the limiting reactant and assuming the reaction proceeds completely. Actual yield is the amount of product obtained in practice, so it can be affected by reaction conditions, side reactions, or product loss. Therefore, the correct statement is that actual yield depends on reaction conditions, while theoretical yield varies with reactant amounts.
